NCTA Launches Awareness Campaign

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Cable has come a long way. While still offering consumers the finest video service in the nation, it has become more than TV. It’s how we connect; opening the window on a world of possibilities that are integral, valuable and a fun part of our daily lives. This is the focus of a new multimedia campaign launched by the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA).

The campaign’s theme – “Cable. It’s More than TV. It’s How We Connect.” – is a simple reminder of cable’s indelible presence in the daily lives of millions of Americans, whether it’s watching video on TV or another device, enjoying the convenience and speed of broadband or connecting to family and friends through digital voice service.

“Cable services provide millions of consumers with instant access to unlimited possibilities. When you watch TV while checking your Twitter feed and talking to a friend on the phone, cable is enabling all of that to happen,” NCTA President & CEO Michael Powell said. “But in today’s overstimulated media environment sometimes we need to take a step back and remember how this amazing environment is thriving.”

The campaign is largely focused on the Washington, D.C. market but will also run nationally on some platforms. Elements of the campaign include:

The interactive elements of the campaign will help demonstrate the many ways in which cable connects consumers to the many information, entertainment and communications sources they utilize and enjoy. Some of the creative elements can be viewed at www.CableConnectsUs.com.
